title: Review of Q-FAST interactive testing system.
abstract: The administration and scoring of paper and pencil measures present a host of logistical problems to clinicians, researchers and educators who rely heavily on these techniques. In addition to the expense of producing and reproducing these materials, the completed measures must be scored, the results must be reduced and recorded and the data must be analyzed. The introduction of human error at any of these steps may compromise the reliability of the obtained data and obstruct its valid interpretation. The Q-FAST computerized testing system is a software package which could improve the efficiency of collection, scoring and analysis of data obtained through such procedures.
